“…Execution videotapes played by respondents played a significant role in reducing support for the death penalty (Howells, Flanagan, & Hagan, 1995). Essays on wrongful convictions had the same effect among students, except in those with a conviction of audacity who were still more likely to support the death penalty (Liang, Liu, & Lu, 2019).…”

This paper presents the results of quantitative research regarding the predictive model of citizens' attitudes about the risks of introducing the death penalty in the Republic of Serbia legal system. The research was conducted with the use of a questionnaire that was requested and then collected online from 427 people in June 2021. A multivariate regression analysis was used, identifying the extent to total scores of the main dependent variables (introducing the death penalty; trust in the legal system; advantages of introduction; disadvantages of introduction scores) were associated with five demographic and socio-economic variables: gender, marital, education, income, and age. We tested the central hypothesis of which gender is predicting variables citizens' attitudes about the risks of introducing the death penalty in the legal system of Serbia. The findings revealed that gender and educational level were the most effective predictors of the research variables under question. The majority of respondents support the introduction of the death penalty and the most important predictor of disadvantages of introducing the death penalty in the legal system is age. Based on the findings that there are major differences in the citizens' attitudes about the risks of introducing the death penalty in the legal system, policies, strategies, and regulations must take into account these very important findings.

“…Lack of precise meaning transmitting and literal translations of propaganda materials intended for domestic audiences do little to help draw in overseas audiences and raises concerns about the trustworthiness of the information. Additionally, political and linguistic errors in translation run the risk of being used against them by international press (Liang et al, 2019;Qiao, 2021;Stroik et al, 2019). For example, the English interpretations of a phrase in the 100th anniversary speech of the founding of the Communist Party of China sparked considerable controversy, with Xinhua News Agency's release having a more subdued tone and the global headlines eventually adopting the translation "heads bashed bloody ", which appeared to signify an aggressive and violent image, adding the fuel of the myth of the Chinese threatening (Fang et al, 2022;Fang & Sun, 2019).…”

This paper focuses on the US-China public opinion confrontation primarily from the standpoint of how China might manage its image-building and global discourse intervention given its ongoing quest for global speech dominance. From the Chinese perspective, there are problems to be solved, including the inconsistency of the content of the world's media, the focus on one ideology over others, the hostile nature of diplomatic responses, and the fragility of the state-owned media platform. In light of China's comparative weakness with the US in the war for hearts and minds, this essay explores China's potential remedies. It concludes that China may aim to increase the weight and proportion of global discourse while also carefully utilising foreign culture and propaganda language. China may simultaneously intensify unfavourable public perceptions of its rivals based on algorithms learned from global platforms, while also working with mainstream media to advance its global coverage and conform to its overall policy objective.

Essays on wrongful convictions had the same effect among students, except for those with a conviction of audacity who were still more likely to support death penalty (Liang et al, 2019). Although findings on the negative relationship between education and support for death penalty support the long-standing fight against death penalty, Hall (2004) points out that older Americans are less likely to support death penalty than younger Americans.…”

The research was conducted with the use of a questionnaire that was requested and then collected online from 427 people in June 2021.

The findings revealed that gender and educational level were the most effective predictors of the research variables under question. The majority of respondents support the introduction of death penalty and the most important predictor of disadvantages of introducing death penalty in the Serbian criminal justice system is age. Based on the findings that there are major differences in the citizens' attitudes about the risks of introducing death penalty in the criminal justice system, policies, strategies, and regulations must take into account these very important findings. The presented model can be used for a more detailed understanding of people's attitudes regarding the support and opposition to the introduction of death penalty in the Serbian criminal justice system.
